Palladium made an initial breakout above its 10 day Simple Moving Average at $1,422.25, a potential indicator of a newly emerging bullish phase. CME Palladium formed a session range of $1,386.5 to $1,440.5 leaving buyers and sellers highly concentrated around an active Fibonacci resistance level of $1,411. Palladium's lower Bollinger Band® is at $1,360.59, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers.
